Description: Experimental Sound Research in a AAA project: The action title "Kane & Lynch2: Dog Days" (IO Interactive/EIDOS) features an original score of psychological 21 ambient soundscapes instead of conventional ingame music. Over 300 minutes of abstract, disturbing and complex noise and ambient layers from various unusual sources create the desired "driving but opressive" atmosphere. "Normal" music only appears when anchored in the scene. "If we are successful, the audience will perceive this as a game without music, but with a strong sense of the mood in the environment". (Karsten Lund, Game Director)
1. The background - Industrial Music in the early 80s
2. The mission - "Youtube", "Reality 2.0" : crime shooter "Kane & Lynch 2" and its "Industrial Terror Ambience"
3. The art of noise - how to create a great variety of environmental non-music
4. The workflow - how to brief your external composer well
5. Ideal and reality - Resume
Takeaway: The lecture suggests a "Reality 2.0" audio concept for more mature game titles and genres, gives film- and pop culture references, shows how to create a huge variety of c and recommends ways of communication between developer and composer.
Intended Audience: The session is targeted at game developers, producers, art directors, publishers, but also at composers, sound designers and audio directors. There is no profound prerequisite audio-technical knowledge requested but a strong interest in game audio and the fundamental effects of sound and music in audiovisual art and media is necessary.
